“This is the best way to be introduced to some of the great France School's cosmic rock of the 70's with a splendid touch of contemporary”

1 Sequences Are Beautiful 11:142 Sleep Awake Part II 6:473 Among Waves Part III 8:004 Shadows Part II 11:295 Sleep Awake Part IV 9:53MoonSatellite Music (DDL 47:26) ****(Vintage French School's Cosmic Rock)An album in concert, as a Best Of…, is often the best way to start exploring the world of an artist. And I would insist on saying that it's even more true for EM because the Live aspect, this friendship and communication between musicians does that some of them give more by stretching a solo or by adding riffs here and there, is returned with such a similarity that we wonder: is it really Live or prerecorded? Don't get this wrong! A lone artist in concert who produces music like a band in studio can't do it on stage unless he has prerecorded elements. And even with that secured background, some artists dare! Like on this “Live O5/11/2016” from MoonSatellite! Recorded during his performance at the Théâtre de la Foucotte in Nancy, on May 11th 2016, “Live O5/11/2016” doesn't only contain some great music from the best era to date of Lone Wolf, be his delicious albums Whispers of the Moon and Sleep Awake released in 2015, but the brilliant artist of Lyon injects just enough nuances to give more depths to titles which have deeply charmed us some 2 years before, besides adding a new title which aims to be a good introduction to the following works of MoonSatellite. A delight for his fans and a feast, for the other fans to be, of a wonderful EM soaked with these wonderful perfumes of the France School cosmic rock of the 70's."Sequences Are Beautiful" is the title which underwent the most beautiful transformation here with percussions which give to it a more rock tonus. Also taken from the Whispers of the Moon album, "Shadows Part II" is adorned by layers of voices in its cosmic rock portion. "Sleep Awake Part II" and "Sleep Awake Part IV", although its finale is shorter, remain rather faithful to the versions from the album of the same name, except some synth effects which give a different aspect to the harmonious portion of "Sleep Awake Part II". "Among Waves Part III" seems to be the little gift from Lone Wolf to his fans. The opening offers oscillating loops of sequences with fine nuances in the impulses which seduces our state of hypnosis. Another line of sequences is added and revolve between both ascending movements while the percussions solidify an approach of slow cosmic rock which is wrapped by very good and melancholic solos of which the romantic and dark approaches will pursue their adventures in Sessions or in Dark Summer.Five titles don't make a Best Of…, nor measure the size of an artist. But “Live O5/11/2016” is an excellent start if you want to know the music of MoonSatellite. And afterward, you will discover an artist who will exceed your expectations.Sylvain Lupari (June 30th, 2017)synth&sequences.comYou will find this album on the MoonSatellite web shop here

Qui suis-je

Bonjour!
My name is Sylvain Lupari from Joliette in Quebec (Canada). I’m known as Phaedream all over the Internet since the beginning of 2000 where I started to write reviews. In 2005, I joined the French Webzine Guts of Darkness and on August 2010 I created a Blog, Synth & Sequences, which has reached the point of 1 000,000 visitors on February 2017 where I also wrote my 1354th review. In French and in English, I wrote more than reviews of EM albums.
This Blog is a huge success and reference about the music which sets my mind free over the years. Too many chronicles, so I have to split this Blog in several sections. Robert Schroeder is the first to welcome my thoughts on Webpress.
So, welcome to this part of my Blog Synth&Sequences which is devoted to the music, the tones and sounds of Aachen’s own Robert Schroeder.
Here you will find informations about his career and discography and latest news as well as deep reviews about his music, his albums.
My only wish is to guide you through his impressive career and may I suggest to visit regularly my Blog Synth & Sequences for more updates on EM.
